RedM Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 http://www.aliveandhealthy.com/nasalwash.html As I'm suffering with a nose chock full o' snot I thought I'd look at ways of shifting it. I came across nasal washing but doubt I could bring myself to do it. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 "A second pointless thread to serve as an example" pot kettle:p seriously though its bloody unpleasant;) its a Yoga technique, the serous bods use a long strip of muslin, in through the nose and out through the mouth:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 They used to use Cocaine to clear blocked noses and other sinus problems. You could buy it over the counter in a little snuff box early 1900's, that was until everyone started getting addicted to it! Just an idea, more pleasant than the nasal wash I guess.

dangerous brain Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I snorted up some warm water in the shower this morning and I have to say my sinus's are feeling a fair bit clearer now. The crap is still all up in my ears though so maybe it takes a few days to clear through. I'll keep trying this as its not completely unpleasant (well it is but not for long) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I bottled out of forcing water and salt through my nose and settled for Oilbas and sweating it out. Worked a treat and I can heartily recommend club hoodies for helping to build the heat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 d. Benefits 1. Cleans mucus membranes in nasal passages 2. Stimulates secretion of nasal mucus So you just fill up again in no time. I always love it, after a bad cold, when I can string out a good half metre of greeny-yellow snot. I breathe so clearly afterwards, but it only lasts for 10 minutes.

Mind you, I'm the same, after having my noses smashed in when I had a car accident, I've always suffered with blocked noses, I'm going to try the water wash, whats the worst that can happen apart from swallowing it.

Chewie Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I've heard you should snort cigarette lighter fuel and then set fire to your nose. That'll clear your sinuses. And your eyebrows, top lip, back of your head, infact anything else that may be causing a blockage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sinuses are great bits of evolutionary engineering though, they lighten the front of the skull, add resonance to the voice and warm/filter the air we breathe. It's just a shame they fill up with snot so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
